What makes a cam model successful?

Below are 2 schedules from different types of models. The blue markings represent models time in free chat and the red markings represent models in private.

Model 1 is friendly and outgoing. Almost always in a good mood. Laughs and engages with her members. This is what her schedule looked like last month.



Model 2 is not so friendly and outgoing. Rarely in a good mood. Seldomly engages with her members. This is what her schedule looked like last month.



Model 2 used to be friendly and outgoing. Generally in a good mood. Almost always engaged with her members. This is what her schedule looked like 2 years ago.



Now, I don't want to claim that models who are more friendly and engage with their members are more successful, but the truth is in the pudding, as they say. So, why would model 2 continue to trudge through this sort of no private trend for 6+ months? Your guess is as good as mine.

  • Model 2 was clearly the daily "after work" companion to a regular member 2 years ago. I don't think her success was entirely because of how friendly she was. Surely, she couldn't have the same guy coming in private chat every day for 2 hours if she were moody and grumpy. But I know that regular members like that are usually too attached to the model and ignore a lot of the model's bad behavior.
    Remove the good regular member from her second graph, and you get a similar poor success rate as in the first graph.
    I am looking only at the graphs. So, I can only guess. Model 2 had two changes. First, the regular member stopped taking her in private chat. If he is still around, then he is taking her in short privates. This means she is making substantially less money. This affects anyone's mood.
    The second change is that the studio (I assume she is a studio model) moved her to prime time. Better traffic, mainly US members with money. Based on your previous comments about your long-time experiences with Romanian camgirls, I will assume Model 2 is Romanian. Prime time is excellent. It is where studios put models that have proved they can be popular. But for European models, that means working from 11 PM to 4-6 AM. The model won't have a social life, and if she doesn't adapt to the night shift, it will drain her energy and kill her mood.
    Why does she continue? I don't know. I can only have basic theories since I don't know who this model is. But I would say that she doesn't have other option. She makes little money. But that is better than being unemployed. I know many camgirls who work for months and years, hoping one day a whale will become their best regular member and they will make $5000 per week. Maybe that is what keeps her online despite no privates.

    Just some quick responses to your inquiries.

    #1 - Yes, both models are Romanian
    #2 - Both models are working for different studios, but both models have worked for their specific studio their entire career.
    #3 - Model 1 has been working for about 2-3 years and model 2 has been working for about 3-4 years.
    #4 - Model 2 has definitely changed her persona. She was 100% bubbly and sweet the first couple years. Then she decided she wasn't earning enough and blamed her being too nice was the problem, so she started being rude, assertive and demanding. That caused 90% of her viewers to stop coming altogether.

    Yes, you're absolutely right. All models, whether on cam sites or OnlyFans have this mentality that they can simply strike it rich by being a woman. Granted, there are a lot of rich simps out there, a lot of these models are quickly discovering that it's really not that easy.

    On a side note, model 1 recently informed me about one of her studio colleagues actually complaining she only came in 2nd place for the latest round of winners for the LJ contest. She won $10,000 instead of $25,000. So you know what she did? She cried about it on her broadcast and earned about $50,000 from her members and all she said was, "thank you."

    This shit is getting out of hand. We are witnessing firsthand the exchange of power from rich idiots to stupid women who probably can't even add 66+34. Yes, this was actually a thing on a recent episode on "Whatever" podcast. They asked all the models on the show what 66+34 equaled and the only one who answered said 95.

    There is an interesting combination of girls getting greedier and guys getting dumber that has been happening the past few years on webcam sites.

    I was in a girl's room the other day on MFC where she was complaining about not making close to her goal. Now, she multicams and is also on Chaturbate, StripChat, and Flirt4Free (and maybe more). She makes it known she is on different sites, and went as far as to call out the tippers on MFC and StripChat.

    Interesting thing is she uses the exact same name on all four sites, and a quick check on Flirt4Free showed she earned a badge for earning 40,000 tokens that day.

    Now, I know I am the exception, but it wouldn't be hard for some of these other guys to check and see just how "little" she had made in one day. Instead, all of a sudden she started getting tipped more from guys of MFC and StripChat to help her through her "hard day."

    Sigh.
